Is it possible to have an Apple watch with a phone number and pair that with an iPad Mini and not have an iPhone involved at all? My daughter is getting old enough to need a phone but she is ADHD as all get out and will most likely put it down and lose it. So I like the idea of a watch that is strapped to her and then an iPad Mini for when she needs more.
Not unless they changed it pretty recently.
Yes, it’s really arbitrary and really annoying. I’d love to use exactly that combo instead of a cell phone, considering the iPad could very easily do it if they wanted it to, but the OS is different and you can’t.
Darn. Thanks for the quick response. Apple still trying to force people to their model/mold I see.
@conciselyverbose @AnotherPerson I wish this was something they changed with the iPad getting the Health app in iPadOS 17. That’s the only hold up besides being annoying by forcing one to own an iPhone that I could have thought of
My other limitation is not having the phone app. I’d genuinely probably use an iPad mini as a phone if I was able to.
